Painting Quotes

To me, the whole process of being a brush stroke in someone else’s painting is a little difficult Picture Quote #1

If a certain activity, such as painting, becomes the habitual mode of expression, it may follow that taking up the painting materials and beginning work with them will act suggestively and so presently evoke a flight into the higher state Picture Quote #1

If all meanings could be adequately expressed by words, the arts of painting and music would not exist Picture Quote #1

What lives in art and is eternally living, is first of all the painter and then the painting Picture Quote #1

I wanted to make a cinema of ideas, not plots, and to use the same aesthetics as painting, which has always paid great attention to formal devices of structure, composition and framing Picture Quote #1

The bathroom door swings open. Emma sees the blood painting my skin and the red rivers carved on my body. Emma sees the wet knife, silver and bone. The screams of my little sister shatter mirrors Picture Quote #1

Music may be called the sister of painting, for she is dependent upon hearing, the sense which comes second and her harmony is composed of the union of proportional parts sounded simultaneously, rising and falling in one or more harmonic rhythms Picture Quote #1

Without painting, sculpture, music, poetry, and the emotions produced by natural beauty of every kind, life would lose half its charm Picture Quote #1
